We are moving to Dallas in October so we went apartment hunting there recently. I discovered this AMAZING fast casual Mediterranean restaurant, Roti. It’s basically like Chipotle but for Mediterranean food and way better/fresher (sorry Chipotle I still love you). I was so in love with the bowl I got that I got it two days in a row!!

These Mediterranean Buddha Bowls are inspired by the bowl I got from Roti. I made similar toppings and made my own creamy garlic herb tahini sauce which is the icing on the cake. Roti used the fluffiest, most delicious pita bread ever and I would do anything to know the recipe. If anyone knows how or where I can buy extra fluffy pita bread, holla at ya girl (sunnythymesblog@gmail.com).

So what even is a buddha bowl?

Honestly, you can call it whatever you want. Buddha bowl, grain bowl, nourish bowl, etc. To me, it’s basically a bowl filled with a variety of vibrant, delicious foods that make you feel good and taste delicious. My buddha bowls usually consist of lettuce, a grain, veggies, sweet potatoes, nuts, sauce, a protein like boiled eggs or chicken, etc.

How do you make tahini sauce?

Tahini sauce is typically made with tahini paste (which is ground up sesame seeds), garlic, lemon juice, water and oil. I added some cilantro and parsley to mine to make it extra flavorful! All you have to do is blend all the ingredients in a food processor.
